Pope County Judge Jim Ed Gibson emphasized the importance of having items in plastic bags and categorized.

"Everything needs to be in plastic bags with the exception of metals. We will have a place for paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum, metal, etc."

Citizens participating in the clean-up will have to make two or three different stops within the complex to drop off their items. It is encouraged to have items categorized in order for the process to flow smoothly and efficiently. Burn barrels will not be accepted.

"We are going to recycle anything we can," Gibson said. "We've got a good recycling program. We recycle more than people realize."

Any yard waste such as lawn clippings, limbs or debri can be taken to the Russellville Yard Waste Facility located at 3115 S. Mobile Ave. in Russellville.

Individuals wanting to assist with picking up trash on a county road either during the cleanup or after, can pick up trash bags and gloves at the Pope County Judge's office located at 100 W. Main St. in Russellville.

Also on Saturday, the Pope County Sheriff's Office will host a 'take back drugs' event. Citizens can take any prescription or over the counter drugs they wish to dispose of properly to the Sheriff's Office at Complex No. 4 off of Weird Road.
